Hayes Valley Playground Improvement Project

Completed and Open to the Public on June 11, 2011!

Community members participated in a 6-month design process with the end result: a park loved by local residents.

Playground Features

• 2,500 square feet clubhouse
• Community garden plots
• Outdoor fitness equipment for adults
• Play areas for school-aged children and tots
• A stage and plaza for community gatherings

The new design also employs sustainable features including a living roof on the clubhouse, water saving drought-tolerant plants, recycled denim insulation, and solar panels for radiant floor heating.

A quarter-acre playground and clubhouse, Hayes Valley Playground is located in a diverse, community-oriented San Francisco neighborhood. The park's clubhouse is a regular gathering space for residents and provides much needed programming, especially for youth from nearby public housing developments.
